The Challenge

Robotic pick-and-place systems are used throughout manufacturing to move everything from tiny electronic components to heavy packages. To complete a successful pick-and-place operation, the robot must move through a sequence of precise positions.
Program the Dobot Magician using Blockly to complete a fully automated pick-and-place operation. As you work through the activity, you’ll learn how industrial robots use programmed positions and sequences to perform precise, repeatable tasks in modern manufacturing.
